Yeah I've always wondered about Superlube. We use it a lot at work and it has a similar look and feel to Slickoleum (maybe a little thicker?).
I've been using Park Tool HPG-1 High Performance Grease in similar places to where Andrew mentions he uses the Chris King Blue grease and it seems to do a good job. It also is pretty thick so tends to add a lot of drag if used in hub bearings or on hub pawls.
Speaking of hub pawls, I've actually been using Slickoleum with good result in my Hope hubs recently. I might have to get some of the Dumonde Tech Pro X Grease to compare.
I wonder how many of these bike specific products are just re-branded versions of much less expensive industrial lubricants. I suspect many/most are.
Also, has anyone found a 'unicorn' chain lube that sticks well enough not to wash off in extreme wet weather but still does not capture grit or cake up on the chain rings or derailleur pulleys?
